Commentary

Won twice at Ripon over 1m last summer. Recently returned to form following a slow start to this season, making it back-to-back places when 1¾-length second at Musselburgh (1m) 6 days ago. Remains on a potentially handy mark for this step back up in grade.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
